Joys place is the most warm and authentic Thai accommodation I have stayed in, in Bangkok. It has a mix of an old traditional feel with modern conveniences plus compared to appartments you get so much more space for your money. It's perfect for a family to stay in.
It's located near some of main sights along the river and when you first enter you feel totally at home in Thailand. Think of it as like visiting family abroad, it has a very homely feel.
Joy herself was very responsive to messages and initial check-in. She is a very friendly person and has even has a personal guide she has drawn herself for where to visit near the house and in bangkok.
I'll be snapping up this little gem by the river again for various occassions, it's a little haven of beauty in a bustling city.
